Dr. Okeke and her company Medicalincs are one example of how the spirit of the Igbo tribe manifests in the African diaspora.<br><br>\u201cAs an Nigerian-American woman, I bring value that cuts across divides and focuses on resilience,\u201d she says. \u201cLike most other Black women entrepreneurs, I had issues being denied opportunities to advance in a corporate world before I chose to start my own company, being denied access to capital, being denied a \u2018voice\u2019 or fair play in partnership agreements and so on \u2014 but the one workaround is to transform your \u2018shell\u2019 again and again, while keeping your core true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Nkem Okeke\" class=\"wp-image-9262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Okeke-Nkem-2-Black-sitting-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Nkem Okeke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">Dr. Okeke\u2019s story is one of many that illustrate the many layers of Black history that have shaped the entrepreneurs in our network who have contributed so much to our local economies and our communities in New York and DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">Dr. Okeke started her career as a Primary Care Physician where she says she realized there was a lot that impacts a patient\u2019s health outside the walls of a doctor\u2019s office. Curious about what could be a more holistic approach to healthcare and bolstered by a family of serial entrepreneurs and healthcare professionals, Dr. Okeke explored public health, business administration, and global health, which took her across Africa, Europe, &amp; Asia to see and grasp actionable insights from similarities and differences in healthcare systems and care delivery around the globe. Over the course of more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nkem-okeke-md-mph-mba-mspm-81ab8848\/\">two decades <\/a>as a healthcare executive, advisor, physician, change management facilitator, and speaker, <a href=\"https:\/\/nkemmd.com\/\">her work<\/a> has improved population health outcomes, addressed healthcare disparities, and delivered multi-million dollar cost savings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wbecnydmv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/164_Medicalincs-1-scaled-e1677027929351-1024x445.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9246\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Nkem Okeke, center, cuts the ribbon on the founding of Medicalincs. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">Dr. Okeke founded <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalincs.com\/\">Medicalincs<\/a> to advise and support healthcare leaders and organizations on strategic and tech-enabled solutions to enhance implementation framework strategy, improve operational efficiencies and outcomes, and increase revenue. Through Medicalincs, she not only impacts the health of our communities by supporting innovations in healthcare, Dr. Okeke impacts the wealth of the local economy by creating new jobs, an equitable workplace, and deliberately empowering future leaders and women leaders. At Medicalincs, her employees are 90% minority, 80% Black, and 90% of the 80% are women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI embrace my multi-dimensionality and who I am, and Medicalincs is a preferred place to work because that\u2019s what I try to do to others: I just want people to embrace who they are. I am happy that I am able to do something about the lack of opportunities for minority women, and enable them to grow uninterrupted in their careers. I\u2019m building a culture where dignity, freedom to speak, and being devoid of labels, builds a culture of trust where you can just focus on doing your best job,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><br>With the right support, women-owned businesses with revenues between $250,000 and $1 million are most likely to be able to hire employees; they are more likely than male-owned businesses to <a href=\"https:\/\/corpgov.law.harvard.edu\/2018\/05\/05\/do-women-ceos-earn-more-and-have-more-diverse-boards\/\">hire<\/a> people from minority backgrounds, and more likely to prioritize community engagement and social responsibility in business practices. Black women-owned businesses just like Dr. Okeke\u2019s are tangibly aiding in closing the racial and gendered wealth gap through the production of new wealth via high-growth entrepreneurship, and improving our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">During Black History Month, and every month, a critical part of our mission to fuel the local economy through women business owners means that we must strive to improve the strength, health and wealth of Black women-owned businesses in the communities we serve. One way we can do that is by amplifying the incredible stories that the women in our network hold, like Dr. Okeke.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">When asked what advice she may have for our network of women entrepreneurs, she points to identity and opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">\u201cKnowledge is power. First know your worth and the value you bring. Then understand that navigating any terrain starts with your knowledge of what the potential challenges are. Understanding what challenges are unique to you as a Black person, or to you as as woman or a Black woman, and then remember that you are enough\u2014that the value you bring is enough\u2014and then charge forward!\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3lpHvZ5\">Browse, search and engage with the 350+ Black women-owned businesses that make up our network&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Okeke\u2019s story illustrates the layers of Black history that have shaped the entrepreneurs in our network who have contributed so much to our local economies and our communities in New York and DC.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9258,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17],"tags":[242,241],"class_list":["post-9241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-news","tag-bhm","tag-black-history-month"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
